You, sir, need to be a teacher. You explained this in a way I desperately needed. Thank you.
Very informative!! Looking forward to more in this series. Thanks for helping us take care of our blades.
Very cool, Thanks for doing this series, I enjoy learning how other knife guys sharpen/maintain their knives. 👍🏻🙏🏼😎
I use a Lansky diamond benchstone (medium\fine combo) and finish on a homemade leather strop. The guy is right, it just takes a bit of practice. Greetings from South Africa. Stay healthy
Looking forward to the video about the different grinds. I prefer this presenter and presentation style over other knife channels.
Just subscribed. There are many videos out there explaining how to sharpen a knife, but the clarity of your explanation, your kind demeanor and your mastery of the subject made me stay here. I am not being very successful at getting that paper cut I want, but will stay at it until I get it
What medium are you using? Freehand stones?
Whetstones, meet the whetstones, they're the modern stone age sharpener...
Awesome video .this really helped ,looking forward to the stropping video
Knife sharpening in the bunker! Love it!
Thank you! Thank you! Now I understand what I'm doing wrong. Can't wait for more sharpening videos.
Excellent!
For what it's worth, I've put on a pretty fine edge using oiled paper as the "abrasive" layed on a stone.
Now that's a great help vid! Thank you.
Nice video David. Keep them coming and stay in the fight brother. We're gonna win this...
Great video on sharpening! Currently I have been using ceramic rods with the angle pre set. It's cheating but gets the job done.
As a beginner I would have liked to hear a little more about the grit of the stones as most seem to be sold based on the grit rather than a "course, medium, fine" grade. But thank you the information!
Thanks. I need to learn so much about sharpening.
Suggest a loupe, or strong magnifying glass as a learning aid. Helped me a lot to see what results I was getting. And- you can clean that Spydie ceramic with some Ajax or other cleanser.
Great video... idea for later video... you could hit on benefits of different angled bevels ... also the benefits of finishing on a higher grit stones and finishing on lower grit stones... toothie edges are great for some applications vs a high polished edge...
David, you make my day. When I see a new video pop up, I am there. Great work on all of them. You are a great asset to Knife Center and the knife community. (My wife may disagree when I keep getting those orange boxes delivered.)
I've been using the victorinox dual knife sharpner form victorinox for my victorinox Swiss army knifes and it does a outstanding job and don't take a lot of metal off the blade i like to use the blue stone mostly because it doesn't take much metal from my 80 year old Swiss army knife
Thank you, nice filing with your videos, stay safe
Thank you so much for making this video & sharing your expertise. I've been holding back on building my knife collection because I can't maintain them properly. Prevention is better than a cure. My knives get a lot of use at my bug out camp. So I have lots of different knives for different tasks from my Morakniv Bushcraft, CRKT SPEW Artisan Cutlery Sea Snake & Kershaw Hotwire. I carve a lot of walking staffs, build shelters and process fire wood. Scandi grind is easy to maintain & sharpen. Micro bevels take more skill. Your explanation of the anatomy of the edge helps a lot.
Great vid. Made me realize that ive come too dependent on my belt sander. Time to get back to basics.
Belt sander!? ... That should only be for broken blades / reprofiling
@@DinoNucci my Ken Onion does a great job.
I use arkansas oilstone too! Goid stone, help to sharp my cutting universal tool.
Excellent explanation
Great video thanks!
2:28 I have that exact same Swiss Army Knife! Same colour and everything!
Really informative video.
Always appreciated! @ 7:00 wouldn’t it make sense to turn the stone around so the natural feel is to scrape out words again? Great tip with the sharpie!
Great job!
Fantastic tips, David!
It's always the angle of the blade that gets me!! I wish all knife companies would include the blade angle in their paperwork, don't you? Or do you find it easy enough to find the angle yourself?
Thanks again, so much!! Keep safe and virus free everyone!!!! 🤗❤️👍✌️🤘🇬🇧🇺🇸👋
i know Im randomly asking but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Rowen Daxton instablaster :)
@London Keith thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@London Keith it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
@Rowen Daxton you are welcome =)
Great video! Stay safe buddy!
Please do a video on how to sharpen the victorinox Swiss army knife saw please
You can see the burr if your under a good light. It will reflect different than the edge.
excellent video, but do you use different stones for different knife steels like magna cut or s35, s90. i found that using standard stones for these high end steels arent quite sharpening them to where i want them. thankyou
Cool,david
Sent this to my boss because he always says stay sharp out there
If you want to know more about whetstone sharpening search for Burrfection channel here on TH-cam.
Another great useful video, I have some Japanese water wetstones, just use water?
Submerge in water until they no longer bubble, then remove and keep sprinkling water on the top as you sharpen.
I have a two sided Japanese water stone, that is better than any Arkansa stone I’ve seen used. However it doesn’t matter how you keep your knives sharp
Great video Sir, thank you!
A quick tip: Use an eraser to remove the metal from the ceramic side of your Spyderco Double Stuff or any other ceramic stone, this will keep it always in top performance, easy and extremely effective.
Greetings from Brazil!
Interesting
Thanks for the tip!
brother... I suck at sharpening. This is the medicine I need.
What's the best way to get the right angel or near it?.
Great audio (especially considering the hard walls of a typical basement), good videography, good voice/speech delivery, good scripting.
QUESTION: I recently watched a knife sharpening video by guys who constantly use knives as professional butchers - "The Bearded Butchers", and at no time was finding/dealing with a "burr" ever mentioned. And, one of the butchers flipped his blade edge over every stroke, rather than doing several strokes on one side, then several strokes on the other. These guys' living depends on their knives - so why is a burr important to some but not others?
BTW - they don't strop.
The burr is only really important to feel when you are initially setting the edge. Once I can raise a burr on each side then I switch to alternating strokes with each pass. The burr is just telling you that you are sharpening through to the edge at the angle you are using, and you wont have any "dead" spots when you move up the grit progression. -DCA
@@knifecenter Thank you
Hey Dav, can you add a vid showing the best type stone and best method used to sharpen some of the newer/harder “Super Steel”/CPM Type blades? I won’t lie, my S30v and S35VN blades whoop my butt! Lol. 🙏🏼👌🏻👍🏻😎
Go with diamond stones for the super steels. Any kind you wish, portable or benchtop, will work with the methods described here. -DCA
KnifeCenter sounds good, thanks 🙏🏼
What would a good double grit wheatstone to have
Hi David
How would a burr develop if you are moving the knife from the tip of the edge to the bottom? I understand that a burr builds if you are stroking by the opposite direction; bottom to top.
Please explain and forgive my ignorance.
Regards
Any motion when you are pulling the edge away from the stone will create a burr. -DCA
3-4 OZ. WATER, ONE DROP OF DAWN, GOOD HONING OIL HACK
Hey there I was working on kitchen knives and only have 800 cant get to small Knicks off near tip with much work, do I need more course? Or use a diamond plate till I get it out?
A more aggressive grit will make things easier for removing chips.

What is that cool triangular sharpener that you are using there?

How to sharpen serrated blade?
Please do a leather strop video
Coming soon
including how to load the strop, smooth or rough side, compound or diamond spray...as you see, I need some guidance...
So, every pocket knife sharpening video I’ve seen pushed the knife into the stone, whereas all chef knife and woodworking sharpening drags the edge. Why the difference? Seems to me that dragging the edge is better for getting a burr. What am I missing? Type of steel?
Either way works. Pushing "edge in" is just more common. Some folks will also move the knife in a circular motion. It's all about practice and consistency.
So with a diamond sharpener do u press hard or really light
Very light, otherwise you can strip the diamond abrasives right out of the substrate -DCA
What is the best type of stone for s30v blades
Most folks prefer diamond stones for particle steels like S30V.
What's the best stone for a beginner?.
Get a medium/fine combo flat stone (in base like his or not) and practice on an inexpensive blade you own. Something with AUS8 or whatever the chinese knockoff is of that right now (8CR...?) -- soft enough that you can work it pretty easily, but still a good steel to hold the edge you eventually learn how to put on there.
Again, the key isn't the stone/device you get, but practice.
Hy, watched the video, but when I clicked the links to see the sharpeners, got an error message and I could not even see the site...☹

wait, I was always sharpening my kitchen knifes the opposite way, is that a no no?
It is not a no no :)
How does one sharpen a karambit?
We'll be covering that in an upcoming video.
I imagine you'll be mentioning recurved in a later video?
I only own one recurve -- once I realized what a disaster trying to sharpen that was, I abandoned the blade style!
@@gyffesme I have the Sanrenmu 1006 and the Harnds Beak is on the way. 😕😬🙂😉

I can’t stop trying to figure out what that brownish yellow stuff is coming out of the wall.
Grumpy Munchkin cheese🤔
It's just moisture in the concrete.
Sir,
Will you ship to India ?
Yes sir!
@@knifecenter ,
Thanks for the reply...
Instead of oil you could just use water.
nice nice
I’ve ruined knives by hand sharpening. Would love a video on a system where the knife is clamped in and the stones are on rails.
How do u run a knife hand sharpening?Not being sarcastic but damn must of been doing alot of angry sharpening....👍👍 Everything is fixable til it sticks out and even then More angry sharpening can take it back....lol
Search vids on the Lansky sharpening system
I bet the office is always short on copy paper
It's usually the sticky notes that go missing...
Couldn't get away from filming in a basement.
It seems to be our lot in life.
Clean your wall
I like my blade edge like my women
Ultra fine
Yes so you can stick'em,stick'em! Slice and dice'em. ⚔🇺🇸🦅🌎⚓👹🐕.
Yall dont know sharp till youve seen a woodworker an his chisels lol 16 thousand grit is mirror edge pmv-11
If I could get my old knives razor sharp, I wouldn't buy new ones!
Loool what buy a sharperner you goober
Nah... there's never "enough knives"
Knives live to become old age by sharpening them
Pushing the blade into/onto the stone isn’t going to give you a proper burr... I was taught to pull the blade across the stone.. I dunno.. seems like it’s backwards.. I dunno.. doubt my grandpa taught me wrong tho, he was special forces in Vietnam
Either way will work! Both ways will get you a burr just fine. That's the beauty of things though, there is no single right or wrong way, as long as you can get results.
Like my Grandpa told me. If you’re ever lost in the woods, pull out your pocket knife, and start sharpening it. Somebody will show up to tell you you’re doing it wrong.
many ways to sharpen a knife young skywalker....You truly will never get the excitement til u can use both hands..then your banging...And Honestly it's what ever works for u.I know alot do circles are monsters..and some only use pocket stones,anduse it against the blade...But as I do the way My grandfather did.....But I have learned much better precision since being a switch hitter little practice it's awesome bout 8 years that way now but I'm old fart kinda experiment.....
